What is vB Bad Behavior?
This is an integration of the Bad Behavior software with vBulletin.

What is Bad Behavior?
Bad Behavior is a PHP-based solution for blocking link spam and the robots which deliver it. Bad Behavior complements other link spam solutions by acting as a gatekeeper, preventing spammers from ever delivering their junk, and in many cases, from ever reading your site in the first place. This keeps your site's load down, makes your site logs cleaner, and can help prevent denial of service conditions caused by spammers.

Visit http://bad-behavior.ioerror.us/ for more.

Features
For more information on the features of Bad Behavior (and subsequently this mod) please go to Bad Behavior's site:

http://bad-behavior.ioerror.us/documentation/benefits/

For features related to the mod itself, please take a look at the screenshots.

This mod should work with the entire 3.x series (well, beginning with 3.5), but it's only been tested on 3.8.x. I'm not sure if this works on vB 4.x yet, as I've not tested it - but if you try it out, let me know!

Installation
1. Extract the contents of the zip file.
2. Upload the contents of the `upload` folder to your forum root.
3. Enter your AdminCP and go to Plugins & Products > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]
4. Import the product using the `product-vb_badbehavior.xml` file.
5. Configure the mod in AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Options -> vB Bad Behavior Options

Upgrading

vB Bad Behavior
In many cases, all you'll need to do to upgrade is follow the installation instructions above.

The only difference, will be you'll need to allow the files to overwrite. Also, when re-importing the product file, you'll need to set "Allow Overwrite" to "Yes".

Bad Behavior
Bad Behavior's files are at `/includes/bad-behavior/`. If you wish to update manually go to:

http://bad-behavior.ioerror.us/download/

And download the latest development version. Extract the zip, and upload the contents of `bad-behavior` to `/includes/bad-behavior/` allowing the files to overwrite.

Versions
The current version of Bad Behavior this mod is using is: v2.2.14
The current version of Bad Behavior (development) is: v2.2.14

Current version of vbBB is blocking new IP ranges for Google and Yahoo.
Wow, that would be really bad for SEO I assume? I'm disabling this mod for now.

Bad Behaviour also needs tweaking if anyone uses cloudflare
Im not using BB at the moment
When the final version gets released, I will go back to using it
At the moment BB is still a beta.
According to the developers website, the next release should be a full release

You can easily add those IPs to the whitelist and resolve it.

Thanks for the tip

Can you share where I'd be able to find those IPs?

Or is it just something I'd have to collect over time?

Edit: Nevermind, see this:
Quote:
Google doesn't post a public list of IP addresses for webmasters to whitelist. This is because these IP address ranges can change, causing problems for any webmasters who have hard coded them. The best way to identify accesses by Googlebot is to use the user-agent (Googlebot).

The problem is, if you dont add the ip ranges, it will see the google user agent coming from an unknown ip range and block them

The easy place to find the ip ranges, is on the bad behaviour website

Download the current versions from there and then look at the search engine file

Google ranges according to that are
"66.249.64.0/19", "64.233.160.0/19", "72.14.192.0/18", "203.208.32.0/19", "74.125.0.0/16", "216.239.32.0/19", "209.85.128.0/17"

MSN
"207.46.0.0/16", "65.52.0.0/14", "207.68.128.0/18", "207.68.192.0/20", "64.4.0.0/18", "157.54.0.0/15", "157.60.0.0/16", "157.56.0.0/14"

Yahoo
"202.160.176.0/20", "67.195.0.0/16", "203.209.252.0/24", "72.30.0.0/16", "98.136.0.0/14", "74.6.0.0/16"
